1-10-12 Sandy causes 300,000-gallon diesel spill into water near New Jersey

The Coast Guard said the incident occurred in the Arthur Kill tidal strait as fuel leaked from the Motiva oil tank facility in Woodbridge, according to a report by NBC New York.

Environmental officials in New Jersey say 336,000 gallons of diesel fuel spilled after a storage tank was lifted and ruptured by a water surge caused by Superstorm Sandy on Monday night.

The spill was caused by a rupture in a storage tank at a nearby New Jersey refinery run by Motiva, part-owned by oil giant Shell, it said.

Neither the Coast Guard nor Shell was immediately available for comment.
